50 Cent has revealed to MTV that he didnt expect or even think that it was possible that he would win an award at this years Grammy’s Ceremony, although he did feel that he deserved to.

“I did say, ‘Kanye gets the trophies, 50 gets the checks’ [in a previous interview],” 50 recalled. “I was saying that because when the awards shows came, they overlooked me, forgot to acknowledge my accomplishments. Anytime the Grammys came, every time the award shows came, they overlooked me. You know why — because of where I come from and how I was raised. They project that to middle America. Oh my goodness, their kids might wanna be like me!”

G-Unit’s DJ Whoo Kid also gave his thoughts on why 50 Cent and G-Unit recieve so much hate, and shared details of how the upcoming G-Unit group album is coming along.

“We still got the respect, but we got the hate/respect,” Whoo Kid said. “Some people hate 50’s success so bad, they don’t wanna give him his props. I guess he’s assuming that he has to bust his again in 2008 and get it poppin’. If you hear how some of these songs sound like album cuts, imagine how the album is gonna be. He’s not playing. He’s making sure the G-Unit album is on point. He’s pressing Yayo and Banks to give 150 percent. He’s not accepting any wack records. Even when I heard these joints on Body Snatchers, I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ I fainted twice. A lot of these joints sound like they need to be on the album.”

G-Unit are about to embark on a tour of Canada and Australia, With another stateside tour likely sometime around May.

“We’re praying to God that Eminem gets his album done, so it can be some incredible s**t,” Whoo kid added. “A [Dr.] Dre, Em and 50 tour. That would be a good look right now.”
